“Washington, what news from Washing
-ton! a ton I wanted the light
on, a bright thing 2 watch spiders
with, and brought moths the size of green”

P. D. Edgar’s poem “Thread” has been paired with a dress from Jun Takahashi’s Spring/Summer 2024 UNDERCOVER show titled “Deep Mist”. Takahashi’s strapless mini dress features a sheer tulle overlay meant to resemble an alluring fog of spider silk - complete with bouncing embroidered spiders and a veil of pink rose appliques. The roses match the pink of the beguiling veil worn by the model on Takahashi’s runway. “Art,” as Oscar Wilde wrote in “The Decay of Lying,” is a “veil, rather than a mirror.” I was very taken by Edgar’s poem. The Web-as-veil functions as both a meditation on how a digital interface (or flooded inbox) can frame almost every human experience as well as how a human mind might be forced to conform to the logic of web browsers. Especially web browsers that increasingly rely on search results generated by AI. One of the poem’s most significant moments comes after the speaker shares an observation of spiders and a light that attracts moths “the size of green.” The line “i can not tear the Web” is one I will not soon forget.
